HCMC-Exhibition “Instability” by Truong The Linh
Craig Thomas Gallery, 27i Tran Nhat Duat Street, Tan Dinh Ward, District 1
A solo exhibition of paintings by Hue-based artist Truong The Linh.
Linh’s paintings arguably focus just as much on the medium of paint, and how it reacts on the surface of his canvases, as they do on the subjects of the paintings. In his new collection of works, the artist continues to explore the sensuous realm of paint, skin and figuration seen in his earlier paintings.
HCMC-Exhibition “an everyday day” by Nguyen Quang Huy
Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu, Dakao, District 1
A solo exhibition of new work by Hanoi-based artist Nguyen Quang Huy. Considered one of Vietnam’s pioneering artists following the Doi Moi reforms initiated in 1986 (a period of economic liberalisation marked by increased artistic experimentation), Quang Huy will be showing a suite of oil paintings depicting Hmong women and misty mountain scenes created with hazy brushworks in his distinctive muted palette of blue-grey grisaille.
